She Plays
Because every girl deserves a chance to play, learn and become. Because when a girl is given a chance to play, she gains more than a sport — she gains confidence, knowledge, friendships and a stronger belief in her future.
Girls. Sports. Knowledge. Opportunity.
She Plays is a girl-focused initiative of Jinja Cricket Academy, created to support girls across Busoga through sports, information, mentorship and opportunities.
We believe every girl deserves the opportunity to play, learn, grow and dream.
Through cricket and other sporting activities, we create safe spaces where girls can build confidence, develop teamwork and leadership skills, make friends, and receive information that matters to their everyday lives.
What We Do
- Sports & Physical Activity
We use cricket and sports to keep girls active, healthy and confident while discovering their talents.
